a question: in the end what sort of sword do you want, sharp or blunt? I ask because I know your customs won't allow sharps through and I was getting the impression from your post that maybe you were thinking to get a blunt and make it sharp. if this is the case I recommend you reconsider as blunts don't typically translate well into sharps. there are options out there and I bet if you talked to whatever maker you prefer that they could arrange for a sharp to be shipped not-sharp but ready to sharpen. I would expect this to be a more true statement for higher end pieces but you may find a shop that sells production line stuff that would be willing to take the edge off. look around, do your homework and ask people what they can do and you'll be more likely to get exactly what you want. don't settle if you don't have to.

I dunno. I'd might stick with a Del Tin Type XIIIa since you are in the same country as them; at least until I could get into a 'butterknife sharp' version from Albion Europe:

In Italy there are way TOO confusive laws and sub-laws about buying sharp (so true and lagitimate) weapons from foireing contries. So I'm looking for a blunt sword for reenactment porpouse and maybe for a live tre combact (something like Battle of the Nations) (you can't know, but I wrote this response when I was drunk, so I put like 15 minutes to write and correct it. So I'm sorry for the grammar mistakes, over from being italian and just 18 yers old  )

I haven't handled one of these myself, but based on the statistics and pictures, they seem to be pretty impressive for the price. I believe they are using CNC. Maurizio D'Angelo, the guy behind this, is a nice knowledgeable fellow who writes here sometimes.
Come to think of it, the 'sharps' are probably not really sharp, being Italy. Maybe butter-knife edge?
